How To Buy a Course as a Gift?Updated a month ago
🎁 A course or a study trip with NVWA makes a great gift for any occasion. Here are our tips for how to purchase a course as a gift.
Do you know what type of course and date works for the gift recipient?
Yes: you can select the course on our website and select the option "I'm buying for other people". You'll be asked to provide the student's name, date of birth, email, phone number and shipping address. Please, note that the gift recipient will be notified by email after completing the purchase within 15-30 minutes. It is not possible to set a timer.

No: We recommend that you purchase NVWA Gift Card, which the recipient can use for any courses or products on our website when they like. Alternatively, consider buying one of our On-Demand courses, such as WSET Level 1 Award in Wine, WSET Level 2 Award in Wine. Those are self-paced with 12-months access and make great gifts!
Check out also our Premier Crew membership, which includes resources for beginner and advanced wine enthusiast:

Do you want to keep the course as a surprise?
If Yes, use your own email address instead of your student's email address and ask the student to update the email when you give the gift by contacting [email protected]. If the email doesn't get updated, you will be enrolled as the student.
Please, note our Transfer Policy: Online course start date can be changed >14 days and in-person courses >60 days before the start for $50 transfer fee. All non-WSET and WSET OnDemand courses can be started at any time and they are valid for 12 months from the purchase.
Is your gift recipient new to wine & spirits education?
If Yes, they might like to start with the beginner level courses such as TasteCoach Wine Fundamentals, which is part of Premier Crew membership or WSET Level 1 Award in Wines.
